Hi,
so it must have been a really huge meteorite, according to another thread in the forum: Fireball over Southern Sweden and Eastern Denmark!


By the way, what the "Bildzeitung" is writing is also somehow funny (translation mine, I hope thera a not too big mistakes in it):

To be afraid of, to get hit by a piece of such a fireball is very unlikely: "In history never happend such a case", said Tost

Well, well I read some of those cases, that should never happened in history. Meteorites, Asteroids, and Comets: Damages, Disasters, Injuries, Deaths, and Very Close Calls ;)

1654 - Milano, Italy - Monk reported killed by meteorite.

fwiw

So different countries use the same video to illustrate their own article. A bit misleading.
